Discover the World of Orchids at Your Local Florist

Orchids are one of the largest and most diverse families of flowering plants in the world, with over 25,000 species and tens of thousands of hybrids. They are found in almost every part of the world, from the rainforests of South America to the deserts of Australia, and have been cultivated for thousands of years for their beauty and their medicinal properties.

Orchids, known for their exotic and intricate blooms, come in a wide range of colours, sizes, and shapes. Some orchids have small, delicate flowers that are only a few millimeters wide, while others have large, showy blooms that can be several inches across. The flowers of some orchids are fragrant, while others have no scent at all.

One of the most fascinating things about orchids is their unique growth habits. Unlike most plants, which grow from a single stem or trunk, orchids grow from a rhizome or a pseudobulb. These specialised structures allow orchids to store water and nutrients, which can help them survive in environments where other plants might struggle.

In addition to their unique growth habits, orchids also have a symbiotic relationship with certain fungi, which help them absorb nutrients from the soil. This relationship is so important that some orchids cannot grow without their fungal partners.

Despite their reputation as difficult and finicky plants, orchids can actually be relatively easy to care for, as long as you understand their specific needs. Some orchids, such as Phalaenopsis, are particularly well-suited for indoor cultivation, as they do not require as much sunlight as other species. Other orchids, such as Cattleyas, prefer brighter light and warmer temperatures.

At Flowers Gold Coast, we offer a wide selection of orchids that are well-suited for indoor cultivation, including Phalaenopsis Orchids and others. Our knowledgeable staff can help you choose the perfect orchid for your needs, and can provide you with tips and advice on how to care for your new plant or how to include it in your next arrangement even!
